David Walliams (one half of massively popular UK comedy sketch show 'Little Britain') and Lee Mack (rising stand-up comedian/new host to They Think It's All Over) have recently given their views on Moz...

David Walliams (in this week's NME) was asked 'Did any musicians inspire you?'
"Morrissey, definitely. As a lyricist he had an incredible use of words. His reference points are interesting as well. He's creating poetry out of the everyday. Thet's the greatest achievement from Morrissey or Philip Larkin. They're not singing about the ocean or the moon-it's about where they live."

Lee Mack (in Metro, admittedly a while back)
"I'm a big fan of Morrissey from the Smiths days and I think he's growing up quite gracefully. 'The First of the Gang' has got some great lyrics in it like 'You have never been in love, until you've seen the dawn rise, behind the home for the blind'. But the main reason I listen to it is to get me in the mood for a gig when I need some energy. I put this on and just jump around."
